The following is an article excerpt from CNNMoney.com by Catherine Clifford.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Rates on 30-year fixed mortgages fell for the first time in three weeks after the Federal Reserve said last week that it expects inflation to level off, according to mortgage backer Freddie Mac.
Freddie Mac (FRE, Fortune 500) said that 30-year fixed-rate mortgages averaged 6.35% with an average 0.6 point in the week ending Thursday, down from 6.45% last week. Last year at this time, the 30-year loan averaged 6.63%.
Last week, the Federal Reserve left its key short-term interest rate unchanged at 2%. For the previous nine months, however, the Fed had cut interest rates seven times. In the written statement released by the central bank at the time of the announcement, the Fed said it expects inflationary pressures to ease later this year, although it remains concerned about increasing oil and commodity prices.
The 15-year fixed rate mortgage this week averaged 5.92% with an average 0.6 point, down from last week when it averaged 6.04%. A year ago at this time, the 15-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 6.30%.
Five-year adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) averaged 5.78% this week, with an average 0.7 point, down from last week when it averaged 5.99%. A year ago, the 5-year ARM averaged 6.29%.
One-year ARMs averaged 5.17% this week with an average 0.6 point, down from last week when it was 5.27%. At this time last year, the 1-year ARM averaged 5.71%.
A point, or "discount point," can be purchased at the time of closing to decrease the mortgage rate. Each point costs 1% of the loan amount and each point that a borrower purchases lowers the the loan interest rate.
The Labor Department reported a net loss of 62,000 jobs in the month. The June job loses brought the number of job loses to 438,000 by the U.S. economy in 2008, raising fresh concerns about the weakness of the economy. Given the recent economic data, "homebuyers looking to get out into the marketplace should take advantage of these dips," said Gumbinger.
"If there is a dip - an improvement in interest rates - that makes it a good time to go sign up for a deal," he said. "Don't wait for interest rates to be significantly lower - because the odds don't favor that."

Holden Beach vacations
It is no secret that Holden Beach has been a popular vacation destination for many years. The area’s relaxing, laidback atmosphere combined with an abundance of things to see and do make Holden Beach your ideal summer vacation destination.
When you plan your summer vacation at Holden Beach, don’t forget to include these activities along with playing in the ocean and sand.
Holden Beach is home to several renowned restaurants that you are sure to want to check out. Blackbeard’s Oyster Bar and Grill, Archibald’s Deli and Betty’s Waterfront Dining are all restaurants that are easy to access and offer great food.
Also, check out Turtle Talk, Holden Beach’s turtle watch program that the whole family will love. You will learn about sea turtle preservation and even see wild sea turtles.
The Federal Citizen Information Center (FCIC) recommends hiring a home inspector before deciding to purchase your home. Purchasing a home is an important decision, one that will be with you for multiple years. Therefore, you need to know the condition of the property to avoid any costly issues and repairs. You would not want to purchase a car from a private owner without having a mechanic check it out, why would you purchase a home on the word of the owner who is trying to get rid of it or an agent that does not specialize in home inspection?
A qualified home inspector will make an unbiased, expert evaluation of the true condition of the interested Holden Beach NC real estate property. They will inspect the structure, construction, mechanical systems (i.e. heating, cooling, electrical, plumbing, etc.), identify what should be repaired or replaced, and the remaining life of such systems.
The inspector will not provide you with an appraisal just a written statement of the homes condition.
Try to find an inspector that is knowledgeable in the market that your property of interest is located. Ask your Holden Beach realty agent about finding a qualified home inspector.
We are currently in a buyers’ market. In this type of market there is a larger supply of housing than there is the demand for them. Sellers are not getting their original asking price but there are some minor to moderately priced improvements that should provide returns from 110% to 300% plus. This will help realize your asking price or possibly more for your Holden Beach real estate.
- Clean the house. This is a crucial one especially for those open houses. A messy, cluttered home leaves a negative impression no matter how nice the home truly is.
- Install natural, brighter lighting. This type of lighting seems to be inviting and can accent the décor or your home.
- Plant some flowers and clean the yard. You can see the difference yourself. Drive through your neighborhood and see the difference in homes with and without flowers. They bring life and beauty to a property and obviously a clean yard is crucial.
- Paint the house. Whether it’s just a wall inside or the whole exterior needs to be painted. It’s not a very expensive improvement especially if you do it yourself and it can really make your home visually appealing.
- Clean and repair the floors. Sweep, mop, and vacuum. If tiled floors are damaged, fix them. If carpets are stained/dirty, replace or clean them. You can rent a carpet shampooer for less than $50.
- Fix all electrical and plumbing issues. Fix light switches and leaky faucets and toilets.
- Contemporary bathrooms and kitchens may be more financially draining but can add value to your home and are very appealing. There are many types of style to choose and a cost effectively option is out there.
Making the decision to rent or buy can be a tough one. There are benefits to both depending on the market, your financial position and needs.
Here are some issues to consider:
- The down payment for a Holden Beach Residential Real Estate and closing costs are likely to exceed any initial cash outlays associated with renting.
- Owning real estate also tends to cost more than renting and can tie up money that could be invested in other more lucrative options.
- Costs associated with Holden Beach rentals tend to be fixed where as home maintenance and repairs can create unexpected costs associated with ownership.
- All repairs, maintenance, and some utilities are absorbed by a landlord when renting but with buying fall upon the owner.
- In addition to mortgage payments, owning a home incurs other costs such as insurance, repairs, property taxes and mortgage payments.
- Owning a home allows you to customize it and provides one with a peace of mind.
Before deciding to purchase Holden Beach Residential Real Estate you should use a Rent versus Buy calculator to help you determine which decide will be more beneficial to you. These calculators can be found on the New York Times website or through a search engine.
When accessing the cost/benefit of purchasing there are a number of components to consider. These include the ability to build equity, tax breaks, and the investment factor. Real estate builds equity. This equity builds as the mortgage is paid off. This equity builds value that you can convert to cash if needed. However, mortgage payments for the first few years may only cover interest and will not add to the equity of a home. Mortgage interest and property tax are both deductible versus money spent on rent which is not. As for the investment, real estate can appreciate in value, build equity and upon selling these profits can be realized.
